The TV Week Logie Awards are the annual Australian television industry awards, which have been presented annually since 1959. Coined by Graham Kennedy in 1960 after he won the first Star of the Year award, the name Logie awards honours John Logie Baird, who invented television as a practical medium. Awards are given in many categories, but the most widely publicized award is the Gold Logie, which is awarded to the most popular personality on Australian television.
Four Corners, Neighbours, Play School and Home and Away are the only programs that have been inducted collectively into the Logie Hall of Fame. The latest ceremony The Logie Awards of 2016, will be held in May, and for the first time will feature awards for locally produced digital content.
The first awards, known as the TV Week Awards, were instigated by TV Week magazine after the first voting coupons were released in the magazine in late 1958, two years after the introduction of television in Australia. The first awards saw no formal ceremony; they were presented on 15 January 1959 on an episode of In Melbourne Tonight. Only Melbourne television personalities were nominated and awards were given in eight categories, including two for American programs.
The 48th Annual TV Week Logie Awards was held on Sunday 7 May 2006 at the Crown Palladium in Melbourne, and broadcast on the Nine Network. The ceremony was hosted by Bert Newton, Ray Martin, Daryl Somers, Lisa McCune and Georgie Parker. The nominations were announced at the 50 Years of Television Exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney on 3 April 2006. In an historic first, the public then voted for their choice of the eight nominees (instead of five) for the Gold Logie via SMS or a 1900 number, right up until the awards night. Special guests included Chris Noth, George Eads and Joan Rivers.
In the tables below, winners are listed first and highlighted in bold.

The 57th Annual TV Week Logie Awards was held on Sunday 3 May 2015 at the Crown Palladium in Melbourne, and broadcast live on the Nine Network. The red carpet arrivals coverage was hosted by Shelley Craft and Jules Lund.
Public voting for the Most Popular categories began on 12 January 2015 and ended on 22 February 2015. Nominations were announced on 22 March 2015. Television presenter Carrie Bickmore won the Gold Logie Award for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television. Love Child received the most nominations with seven, followed by INXS: Never Tear Us Apart with six. Hamish & Andy's Gap Year South America and Home and Away both received four nominations. Home and Away was inducted into the Logies Hall of Fame.
On 24 October 2014, TV Week announced that it would be restoring the Most Outstanding Comedy Program category to the 2015 Logie Awards. The industry-voted category had been absent from Logie ceremonies since 2009 and TV Week said the decision to bring it back came after consulting with the industry, as well as listening to feedback from readers, viewers and voters.TV Week editor Emma Nolan stated, "The standard of Australian comedies has been outstanding in 2014 – and we felt that shows in that genre deserved to be judged up against each other in their own category. In recent years, comedy nominees had competed with other genre shows in the Most Outstanding Light Entertainment Program category.
